The indirect object comes first followed by the direct

object in this example:

e.g. He gave me a book.

The indirect object is typically personal as in "me" in

the previous example, and "the man" in the

following example:

He asked the man a question.

The indirect object is often equivalent to a

prepositional phrase with "to" or "for".

e.g. He gave a book to me.

He bought a gift for his son.
